This one alone, plus some side dishes, is enough for a full meal for their family of three.
The excitement and sense of accomplishment from successfully catching this kind of game for the first time is almost the same as the first time you catch a fish.
Thinking that it was almost time for lunch, Chen Wang stopped setting the trap.

"I understand. Don't worry. I'm leaving."
Chen Wang nodded in agreement and then quickly slipped away.
